I wondered if the 'Real Quick' was the same thing, but on a more subtle level...

Dont know who told you that, but simply put, its not true.
The " Do it now" command is just that. A Command. They usually make it loud and clear to make sure the suspect heard it, and anyone else listening.
You would be surprised how many people will not " Do it Now " unless told to. It is a follow up command to make sure the person knows that its supposed to be done right away versus when they decide. The cop is making it His decision rather than the suspects decision.
