as the odds jump back to 80% in favor of Al surviving—after Sam discovers a cigar in the car where the murder was committed; Al didn't smoke cigars at this point, so he couldn't have left it there—Al is restored, with only Sam remembering that Edward St. John was ever even there. This confirms that PQL would still exist without Al, though it would be radically different from the project as we know it. Personal relationships Al is known as quite a womanizer on the show, and has been so for years. When Sam asked if Al had enjoyed being sixteen because that was when he lost his virginity, Al made it clear that he was offended at the idea that it had taken him that long to lose his virginity. He constantly talks about his five former wives, current girlfriend, and various other conquests, occasionally attributing his surprising knowledge of things, such as Jewish customs, by claiming that he learned them from his wives (humorously sometimes forgetting exactly which wife provided him with the relevant knowledge). The first wife, Beth, was a naval nurse. She and Al honeymooned at Niagara Falls. She loves Calla lilies, Mexican food and Ray Charles' "Georgia On My Mind". When Al was reported missing in Vietnam she had the Navy declare him dead after two years and remarried lawyer Dirk Simon (Al returned to the States seven years later). The second wife was Hungarian and liked to throw small appliances at Al. That is all we ever find out about her. The third wife, Ruthie, and Al also honeymooned at Niagara Falls. Ruthie was Jewish and her father owned a funeral parlor. At one point she charged Al with emotional abuse for singing the song "Volare" in his sleep. The fourth wife, Sharon, wore pink babydolls. She would cut Al's meat for him, which is the reason he gives when he says he is a vegetarian. She also gained their dog, Chester, in their divorce. The fifth wife, Maxine, and Al met at a tattoo parlor in Jersey City. Maxine tried to be both a professional roller derby girl and an ice skater but was unsuccessful. They also honeymooned at Niagara Falls. The marriage ended when Al accused her of cheating even though she hadn't. In the end, she ended up running off with the bricklayer whom Al accused her of cheating with anyway.
