That thing you did with your mouth

[zelempa]

It doesn't feel like I haven't posted here in ages, because I have been working on fannish stuff--it just cannot be revealed at the present moment. (Cue foreboding music.) In the meantime, here's something I've never understood about the buddy breathing scene in the "Mountie on the Bounty" episode of Due South.

RAY: What the hell was that?
FRASER: What the hell was what?
RAY: Back there. That thing you did with your mouth.
FRASER: Oh, buddy breathing.
RAY: Buddy breathing.
FRASER: Yes. You seemed to be in a bit of a--well, having a problem, and I have excess lung capacity...
RAY: That's all it was, this buddy breathing thing.
FRASER: Yes, Ray. Standard procedure.
RAY: So nothing's... changed?

My question is, why does Fraser correct himself? What's he about to say--"in a jam"? Why does he rephrase?
