"Enough so for me not to have forgotten him," he says, tone dry as he remembers that initial argument. It was - and is - complicated, and there's no need for him to sort it out right now. There may never be. He really just wants Anakin out of here. The rest doesn't matter to him nearly as much - or really at all. "I'm sorry for complicating your purpose, here."
Padme felt compelled to say more- something comforting, but nothing really came to mind. She knew she couldn't make any promises, even if she wanted to so badly. She hated seeing all this suffering. And she hated being so powerless.
She knew she couldn't say the first thing that came to mind. And she hated that, too.
"We do need to leave as soon as possible and continue our journey to Coruscant. Naboo is counting on... us to... advocate on their behalf. We need to get help for Naboo. I'm sorry we can't stay to truly help. But any way we can help you, if there is a way to help you, I'll see to it to get you that help."
"Just do what you can to get someone back here for Anakin and his mom." He doesn't want sympathy, he doesn't want saved. He just wants Anakin and Shmi out of here.
