How do I approach this internship opportunity?

I found online an application for a 3-month unpaid internship. I definitely want to work here because I know I can sell for this broker. This broker has 28 associates working for him. What's given to me is one-on-one coaching. Also, a reimbursement is given if I decide to get my license, which I want to do because I want to eventually invest. What better source is there than working as an agent, seeing what goes on behind the scenes?

I do not want to look like someone who is waiting for that response by applying online. I'd rather go in the office tomorrow, in a suit and let the broker know I want to work as an unpaid intern and that "I'll do difficult, time-consuming work so you're able to concentrate on more revenue-related pursuits" and "I just have to be taught it, and I'm intuitive. But I will still ask questions whenever I have trouble understanding something". 

I am not able to print the resume and cover letter due to a lack of a printer, but it's on Google docs. My question boils down to: should I go into the office without any prior knowledgI found online an application for a 3-month unpaid internship.

My question boils down to: should i just go in as a cold approach to the broker that I'm going to apply as an intern?

Go to  Kinkos or UPS store and print your resume.  Then go to brokers office ask to talk about position and leave your resume.
