The phrase comes from Shakespeare's play The Tempest, where Antonio is trying to convince Sebastian to murder his sleeping father so that Sebastian can be king. His use of the phrase is intended to say to Sebastian that all of their lives up to this point -- their past -- was merely a prologue -- an introduction -- to the great story that they will soon embark upon if they go through with this plan. Used this way, it's meant to imply that everything that came before doesn't matter because a new and glorious future is stretching out before you.
