It's not a good idea to let the interviewer know that you prepared for those behavior questions and expect them to ask those questions. It's even worse if you can not remember those answers and want to take a look of the answers during the interview. You give the interviewer the feeling that you are reciting something, which is not the purpose of the interview.

I am not saying you should not prepare for those questions, but you have to understand those questions and speak in your own comfortable words, not repeating other peoples' answers word by word.
