The interior scene starts earlier, the old man talks to Jor-El. This is also in the Director's Cut (2000).

Man: "An unpleasant duty has been masterly performed, Jor-El. They have received the fate they deserved. Isolation in the Phantom Zone, an eternal living death."
Jor-El: "A chance for life, nonetheless. As opposed to us."

In the Theatrical Version, the previous shot is a little longer instead. In addition to tat, there is an alternate take of Vond-Ah saying: "It isn't that we question your data."

In the Extended Edition, the old man says beforehand (just like he does in the DC): "Jor-El, you are one of Krypton's greatest scientists."
His companion says: "Yes, but so is Vond-Ah."

Footage of the council's conference (also in the DC).

26:18 / 29:35-30:32

Clark's conversation with Lana is longer before she offers to tag along to the record store.
