Nice try, Richard, but a Verhoeven-directed "Thy Inward Love" would be more
akin to _Showgirls_ or _Basic Instinct_ than to _Starship Troopers._  To
wit:

Shampoo is lying on a bed, wearing a silk negligeé.  She pulls it open,
exposing herself to the camera.  Ranma enters frame, leaps on the bed, and
buries his face in her ample chest.

SHAMPOO:  Oh, Ranma!

The director enters frame and pulls Ranma off Shampoo.

VERHOEVEN:  No!  CUT!  Not like dat, like DIS!

Verhoeven yanks down his pants, leaps on Shampoo, and starts banging her
enthusiasically.  Ranma watches, scowling.  Evenually Herr Director finishes
and releases a disheveled Shampoo.

RANMA: Who put this scene in, anyway?

VERHOEVEN:  I did.  You is normal boy, ja?  Of course you fuck da pretty
girl.  HAIR!  MAKEUP!  Ve go again.

CUT to Shampoo lying on the bed again.  She pulls open her clothing.  Ranma
leaps onto her, but Verhoeven grabs him mid-leap and throws him aside.

VERHOEVEN:  NO!  CUT!  I show AGAIN!

He leaps onto the bed.

SHAMPOO:  Aiya!  Too much rehearsal!  Shampoo getting sore!

VERHOEVEN:  You must suffer for your art, my dear.  WOO-HOO!
