You should be happy for a friend's accomplishments.
James is at home, when his friend Pierce comes over to show him the new sports car that he worked hard to get, asking James what he thinks of it.
James wants to respond to Pierce's question.
James tells Pierce that it's incredible and that the best part is how Pierce set out on a goal an accomplished it.
James tells Pierce that the car is rather kitsch and that he should have gotten something more practical.
Pierce is delighted that James sees all the sweat that went into that car and thinks James is a great friend.
Pierce is annoyed that James is recognizing how much effort he put into getting that car and that on top he doesn't like it.
