In the Outpost narrative, "A and B Conversation" is positioned at the point of Abbie knowing that Beth is dead but wanting to give up the idea of her. The film itself is a manifestation of place and site. The only movement represented is the wind rustling the trees and the sound of animals walking by. All the action that takes place is in the subtitles. Subtitles bridge the site to an event. The positioning of the subtitles illustrates a break in Abbie's psyche as Abbie begins to play the part of both herself and Beth. The text divides the viewer's attention between the act of reading Abbie's dialogue and the potential action in the film. The viewer becomes voyeur to another individuals mental space. 

Just as A(bbie) and B(eth) Conversation reference a childhood saying to block peers from eavesdropping, "A and B C..." is also the ABC's of loss (as navigated by Abbie). 

Although it is chronologically later in the Outpost narrative, this piece was created before the other short films.
