Intern Meeting with an MD

I start my summer internship at a BB firm in S&T in a few weeks and wanted to start my networking early so I emailed a bunch of analysts etc. to meet for coffee. I also found out who the MD was on my desk and emailed him to ask for coffee. I'm now realizing that this was a pretty ballsy move and I need to make a really good impression. What should I do to prepare?? Should I prep like this is an interview? Should I ask him questions about the bank or what I should work on or market events?

Hopefully MD doesn't take it like an interview. Had a second year analyst pretty much drill me on questions when I invited him for drinks before internship started (we were both alum of same school). Treat it professional and say that you are excited about the opportunity and to contribute/learn as much as you can. I would even ask him if he has any tips on the job. Just talk to him about life/golf/the markets, he would want to get to know you as a person and not like an interview if he was a good MD. Good luck and congrats on internship!
