Hi.
I don't know the meaning well.
Would it be possible to teach me about it?

My try is;
Yogurt is a person/character of a certain (fiction) story, who dares to break in the conversation, which is in the palm of Mr. Know-it-all's hand.

Am I on the right track?
And why is it "who dares enter..." not "who dares to enter...." ?
Is there another character who is called as the everlasting know-it-all ?
It's from this movie, Spaceballs (1987) - IMDb right?

I haven't seen the film but looking on the internet I don't think 'the everlasting know-it-all' is a characters name. It's more like a title, or a description of the person. "Who dares enter the sacred and awesome presence of the everlasting know-it-all!"

"who dares enter", is slightly more old-fashioned sounding than 'who dares to enter'. It's also more direct, so it was probably said like this to make it sound more impressive. After all, it's a challenge to whoever is daring to enter his presence!
