DOCTOR: (shivers with delight) There's nowhere else like it. Well, nowhere in this galaxy, anyway. They're trying to build one out on the rim of the Crab Nebula, but the design concepts are all wrong. They're trying to build it for a purpose! (scoffs)
PERI: What's wrong with that?
DOCTOR: Well, everything. You can't build a place like this for a mere "purpose"! Oh, don't talk to me of fluid lines, provoked by the ergonomic imperatives—
PERI: All right, I won't.
DOCTOR: —or the strict adherence to the symbolic form, classical use of conceptual space. (scoffs)
PERI: I promise, I won't talk about anything like that.
DOCTOR: Designers' gobbledygook! Architects' flim-flam!
PERI: I quite agree. (beat) I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about!
DOCTOR: No, you'll never win that argument. Not here! This is perfection. This is genius! This is classic... frivolity!
