Try this:
set list1 to {"apple", "orange", "apple", "watermelon", "orange"}
set list2 to {"apple", "orange", "watermelon"}
set list3 to {}
repeat with x from 1 to count of items of list1
set n to item x of list1
if n is in list2 and n is not in list3 then set end of list3 to n
end repeat
return list3
