Jerry said this in a recent rerun where Kramer took all his shoes to be resoled and loaned him some cowboy boots. It occurred to be that Jerry said the exact same line, the exact same way (funny), in the Puffy Shirt where he whines, "But, I don't wanna be a Pirate!"
Just curious, are there any other episodes where Jerry uses some variation of that line?
In "The Label Maker" Kramer and Newman play Risk and put the board in a neutral place so noone can manipulate it - Jerry's apartment. Kramer says: "You're like Switzerland!" and then Jerry replies with "But I don't wanna be Switzerland!" in the exact same way as in "The Puffy Shirt" or The "Mom & Pop Store", as you mentioned.

There is a similar response in The Switch when he is offered the Menage � trois - and he tells George he does not want to be an Orgy Guy - don't have the exact quote though.

Hmmm, can't remember the exact line too, is it "I am not an Orgy Guy!".
But he has done the whiny thing on other occasions, such as "I am not an Anti-Dentite!" in the same tone as the other "I don't wanna...."s.
Any others?

It goes, "I don't WANNA be an orgy guy...then I gotta wear orgy clothes and have all orgy friends..." Might be one of the best classic Jerry Seinfeld whines in the whole series.

speaking of which, can anyone post the complete dialogue from the subway scene (with the Ukranian)? Don't do it from memory, unless you know for sure it's correct, because you're bound to misquote it. Thanks.
and as for the thread, Jerry's "but I don't wanna be..." is one of my favourite parts of the show. I sometimes use that one myself.
