You tell them that they may not eat any Apples. They're allowed to stare at the Apples, to touch the Apples, to love one Apple or even more, but when it comes to crossing a certain line they can only do that with Windo-- Andro-- Oranges.

(I think people are approaching this from an "either-or" perspective and not the intended "and.")
