In the last scene (or almost last) when they are in the bar and a woman walks into it. Sam says "hmmmm", Vincent says "Sorry", Sam says "you said something" and Vincent says "I said she won't be coming back here" (paraphrasing). But it didn't appear that he DID say anything prior to Sam saying that. I didn't quite get that or maybe I just missed it. Any ideas. Was it an editing problem or did he say it under his breath?

Most likely editing problem. This movie had a few along with other noticeable technical problems.
shareIn the original/alternative ending, at the spot where it cuts to Sam's POV as he looks at the door of the bar, it cut to the outside of the building on the stairs with Deirdre hiding to the side watching the entrance. So presumably the conversation would have continued inside and we just wouldn't have heard him say the first time "she would not be coming back here." That awkward edit is likely a result of cutting her out of the ending. Though you could also play it off as you are in Sam's head and he was lost in thought when Vincent said what he said.

Thanks for the input - interesting - never heard of the alternate ending. I do like the other version better if it wasn't for the weird edit.
however - it still seems like I'm missing something -even in the original. Vincent doesn't say anything - at least from what I can hear - and Sam says - you said something - and Vincent tells him she isn't coming back. That still puts me in the same position. What did Sam hear to start him to say - you said something. I know it's a small thing - and I obviously still love the movie - just kind of doesn't sit well every time I see it.

No, no, no!
That is BRILLIANT editing! When we see the girl walking in, it is in DeNiro's POV, as he is thinking "I hope she is walking in...", and in THAT MOMENT Vincent could have said he was the queen of england and it wouldn't have registered. It was a perfect way of conveying how eager he was to see Dierdre again.
We didn't hear Vincent because DeNiro didn't hear Vincent. He asked him what he said and then we all find out what was said.
Brilliant filmmaking.
Correct, it was done to show De Niro’s distracted mind, obsessed with seeing Deirdre again.
share^This is good and, hopefully, it's how the scene was supposed to be.
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!
I don't know about that. He never used that technique in the movie before - just using Sam's point of view - at least as far as could tell. Why use it in this one instance? If it was supposed to be that way - that would be interesting. I'm starting another post with a similiar problem in the movie (not sure if it was covered) - take a look and tell me what you think.

Saying a technique wasn't used repeatedly so it can't be used is ridiculous. I'm right and you can think whatever you want.

I was able to ready your stupid question. The best part about being right is not needing validation. Like ignorance, knowledge is bliss.

This was noticeable to me, too. I watch everything with closed captioning and the captions dependably display so much more than the primary dialogue--insignificant remarks from random passersby, for example, and sound effects.
There was a total lack of caption when I would have expected at least an "Undecipherable" on the screen if Vincent had murmured something. Sam's next question made me think they were going to go into a goofy "Did you say something? No, I thought you said something" exchange in the middle of their poignant farewell.
Not saying it was a giant flaw--just that it caught my attention enough to distract me from the movie for a second.
The original DVD that I watched missed Vincent's remark. I always wondered when Vincent had said that Deidre wouldn't be coming. But the next DVD that I bought from Europe included the part where Vincent says that she wouldn't be coming.
