Lee is arrested by the police, and he begins hallucinating due to exposure to the insecticide. </p><p>Lee believes he is a secret agent, and his boss, a giant talking <a href="/wiki/Beetle" title="Beetle">beetle</a>, tasks him with killing Joan, who is an agent of "Interzone Incorporated." Lee dismisses the beetle's instructions and kills it. Lee returns home to find Joan having sex with Hank, one of his writer friends. Shortly afterwards, he attempts to shoot a drinking glass off her head to emulate <a href="/wiki/William_Tell" title="William Tell">William Tell</a>, and accidentally kills her. </p><p>Having inadvertently accomplished his "mission," Lee flees to <a href="/wiki/Interzone_(book)" title="Interzone (book)">Interzone</a> in <a href="/wiki/North_Africa" title="North Africa">North Africa</a>. He spends his time writing reports concerning his mission; these documents are eventually compiled into the titular book. </p><p>While Lee is addicted to assorted mind-altering substances, his replacement typewriter, a Clark Nova, becomes a talking insect. It tells him to find Dr. Benway by seducing Joan Frost, a <a href="/wiki/Doppelg%C3%A4nger" title="Doppelgänger">doppelgänger</a> of his dead wife. There is a row at gunpoint with Joan's husband Tom, after Lee steals his typewriter, which is then destroyed by the Clark Nova insect. Lee also encounters Yves Cloquet, who is apparently an attractive young gay Swiss gentleman. Lee later discovers that Yves is merely a human disguise, and that his true form is a huge shapeshifting centipede. </p><p>Lee concludes that Dr. Benway is secretly masterminding a narcotics operation for a drug called "black meat" supposedly derived from the guts of <a href="/wiki/Scolopendra_gigantea" title="Scolopendra gigantea">giant Brazilian centipedes</a>. He encounters Tom's housekeeper Fadela, previously observed to be an agent of the narcotics operation. Fadela reveals herself as Dr. Benway in disguise. After being recruited as a double agent for the black meat operation, Lee completes his report and flees Interzone to Annexia with Joan Frost. </p><p>Stopped by the Annexian border patrol and instructed to prove his claim to be a writer, Lee produces a pen, but this proves insufficient for passage. Lee, having realized that accidentally murdering his wife has driven him to become a writer, demonstrates his William Tell routine using a glass atop Joan's head. He again misses and kills Joan. The border guards cheerfully welcome him to Annexia, and his new life as a writer. Lee sheds a tear at this bittersweet accomplishment. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Naked_Lunch_(film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Peter_Weller" title="Peter Weller">Peter Weller</a> as William Lee</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Judy_Davis" title="Judy Davis">Judy Davis</a> as Joan Frost / Joan Lee</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ian_Holm" title="Ian Holm">Ian Holm</a> as Tom Frost</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Julian_Sands" title="Julian Sands">Julian Sands</a> as Yves Cloquet</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Roy_Scheider" title="Roy Scheider">Roy Scheider</a> as Dr. Benway</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Monique_Mercure" title="Monique Mercure">Monique Mercure</a> as Fadela</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Campbell" title="Nicholas Campbell">Nicholas Campbell</a> as Hank</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Michael_Zelniker" title="Michael Zelniker">Michael Zelniker</a> as Martin</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Robert_A._Silverman" title="Robert A.
