Mag is a character that is introduced as having similar characteristics to Holly (Cash).  She is tall and attractive, but has a stutter problem.  She is engaged to Jose, a Brazilian, and when she talks about her future relationship with him she makes the comment to Holly, "Better you than me (Capote 51)."  Holly responds back, "Yes.  Better me than you (Capote 51)."  This indicates that Holly is attracted to Jose, maybe even more than Mag.
