Notes -
It’s a quote from the parable of the talents, and is definitely meant to be from God saying that Charlie lived a righteous life and is now with God. That meaning will be patently obvious to any practicing Christian, and pretty clear to those of us exposed to a lot of the Christian memetic superstructure in American culture.
It’s a bit surprising to me that it’s non-obvious to you. That’s not meant as a criticism, more as an acknowledgment of my own blind spots. I suppose that the superstructure has significantly eroded over the last 50 years to the point that even the most basic points of the Christian memeplex are no longer part of the general culture.
I didn't mention the bible verse because I don't think it makes the usage any less bizarre in context.
