Context

This famous line is spoken by Will Hunting, played by Matt Damon, in Good Will Hunting (directed by Gus Van Sant, 1997).

After getting his love interest's number in a bar, Will Hunting wants to impress his true love interest (Ben Affleck), so he taunts the man who didn't get her number.

Will bangs on the window of the Dunkin Donuts-meets-Frozen Yogurt shop the man is sitting in (neither drinking DD coffee nor eating frozen yogurt), and asks him through the glass if he likes apples.

When the man says yes ("a crisp Gala apple is delightful on a sunny fall day!"), Will slams the number against the window and says, "Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples?" 

In Boston, that's called getting buhned.

What if the guy didn't like apples? Then what?
