[She's already thinking of ways to help him.]
If I'm able to go home and you give me a note, maybe I could put it somewhere so she could find it by the time your time comes around.
Leonard. You've helped me so much. Let me help you.
[How can her heart break for so many people that she had just met in the last week? Nora wishes she could assure him]
You have my word, Leonard. You know my son, my word is as good as his.
I will.
[The promise is quiet but her word is good as gold. He could hear it in her voice.]
I promise. When I go home, I'll see if I can find her. And help her as much as I can. And you.
All of you. I'll do what I can.
[She does have a toddler to look after.]
Of course. But all of you. I'll do my best to see if I can find you, your sister, Mick, and somehow do something about that.

You can't give a man hope when he hasn't had it his entire life. Don't do that.

Be a mother to her. The mother we never had.
Be her friend.

She's all that matters. My partner if you can find him. [A hollow sound that is far from amused.] Mick isn't the most agreeable, even on a good day.
