In full "Not Now, We're on the Plane, You dumbass!" is a response to somebody saying or doing
something prematurely, or when they aren't supposed to.
Can also be shortened to "Not Now, we're on the plane" or "We're on the plane, you dumbass!"
The phrase is derived from a
line by
Josh Duhamel's character in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. His character was responding to another who had prematurely deployed his parachute while inside of a plane.

Well don't do step 4! We're on the plane, you dumbass!
