Rope is panicking. He is worried that the others will think he did this on purpose, somehow. He certainly never wanted anyone to get hurt, especially by something he made.
Rope: Whoa! Drake, what's going on? Are you alright? What's going on?
Rope calms down for a second, and then:
Rope: Somebody run down the hall and get a cupful of water. There is a basinful along the wall, you won't miss it.
Rope doesn't wait to see someone move. He starts making gestures with his hands over Drakes body, in an attempt to dull the paint's effect.
