Recruiting Summer Internship (Lunch with PM & Associate)

1st year finance student in the recruiting process for a 2026 PWM internship, The PM (End of his career) offered to take me out for lunch with him and his associate (Late 20s) and I'm just looking for some advice on how to prep for it and what etiquette is required as I've never done something like this before and would really like to land this internship opportunity.

What questions should i be prepared for?

What questions should i be asking the associate & the PM (super lost - please help)

What should i wear 

What type of vibe should i come off with

Should i be more talkative or listening

Overall any advice would be greatly appreciated
