Sauce for the goose

I've been enjoying watching Bones lately.

The two main characters are a forensic anthropologist (nicknamed Bones) and an FBI agent (Booth) who work together.

This conversation amused me. 

He's trying to explain why he was being so secretive about a romantic relationship he is in.

Booth: I just didn't want it to get weird, I guess. 

Bones: Weird? 

Booth: We're partners, you know? Together all the time, right? You're a woman, and I'm a man. And I never had a relationship like this where we were...like two guys - except you're not, you know, a guy. Yeah.

Bones: No, no I'm not... 
Should I feel odd about wanting to hang out with Will? [a guy she fancies]

Booth: No, of course not. You know? Because essentially, I mean, you're a guy like me. But not really.

Bones: That would mean that, to me, you are essentially a woman. 
Yeah, I can see that.

Booth:  No no no no. I'd prefer not to be a woman, if you don't mind.

Bones: I'm merely trying to follow your reasoning, Booth. 

Booth: OK, fine. What do you say we just, you know - we'll drop it for now.
