How do you show maturity in this industry as an intern?

Might be a weird question, but I will be interning at a solid PE firm (not MF) this summer. I know someone with strong ties to the firm (pulled for me during the process) and they told me that this firm specifically looks for maturity when evaluating interns. How do I display this during my summer, besides the obvious don't talk about how you did blow/got blackout at Phebes.
