She's constantly interrupting me. I tell her déjame hablar a mí
Let me talk? Why couldn't I just say ¡déjame hablar!
What would be the difference between the two?

I have heard "Déjame hablar".
Usually if you add "a mí", you are emphasizing, such as "Let me talk". I believe the more common word order is "Déjame a mí hablar", but it might vary by region.

That would make sense in the context of this scene. He was speaking softly, and during the interruptions, he quietly said "Déjame hablar a mí". Thanks so much! - Jack-OBrien, Oct 26, 2011
I have only heard and used Déjame hablar, but I'm probably not as nice as other folk :~) The "a mí" on the end confused me. - Jack-OBrien, Oct 26, 2011

déjame hablar a mí
This means let ME talk. This is pretty normal, maybe just saying, hey, I want to give you my point of view.
¡Déjame hablar!
Situation, I am having a heated discussion with my husband Eddy....so I talk and talk and scream and scream and at one moment he jumps in:
¡¡¡¡¡Pero déjame hablar!!!!!!!
