Immediate neg after opening, something like
you, talking to her friend, while acting hurt/surprised (shouldn't be too hard): "my god, she's so bossy/mean, how can you stand to be around her?"
friend: blah blah blah
you: "yeah, you know I thought I was getting this domineering vibe from her, almost like an energy, but almost tangible you know? (turn to target) But hey, it's cool, I find that trait endearing in a woman
"target: more shit test or hopefully a smile
you (cut her off if need be): "hey, how long have you two known each other? I just noticed something. I think I know. Do you two use the same champoo?"
OR if she tries to redirect you back to her shit test with "hey answer my question", talk to the friend again and bring up the domineering attitude, followed by "well then little miss bossy pants, why should I answer every single question you throw out there? who the hell do you think you are, the mayor of new york?"
Two things to keep in mind: 1) playful, teasing attitude with a hint of a smile, 2) maintain eye contact on delivery of all lines until she breaks it, then look away to the upper right.
Yeah I know, I could be great, if only I worked out my own problems
